GSEP <strong>Facilities</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

Procedures for troops incorporate and assume the standards and requirements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Eastern</strong> <strong>Pennsylvania</strong> Volunteer Policies (printed in Volunteer Essentials) and the GSUSA Safety Activity<br />

Checkpoints. These standards and procedures are designed to assist volunteers and staff in the delivery<br />

<strong>of</strong> a safe, quality program for girls.<br />

Membership and Volunteer Leadership<br />

All girls and adults participating in the <strong>Girl</strong> Scout movement shall be registered as members with <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> the United States <strong>of</strong> America and individually pay the $12 annual membership dues, except those adults<br />

who are lifetime members or who are working in a temporary advisory or consultative capacity.<br />

Volunteer Screening Policy<br />

Before volunteering, a mandatory volunteer application and consent for a background clearance is required<br />

for all adult volunteers who work directly with girls. This includes all Leaders, Co-Leaders, Assistant Leaders,<br />

Troop Cookie Managers, Service Unit Cookie Managers, Troop Fall Product Managers, Service Unit Fall<br />

Product Managers and adults who attend overnight events.<br />

Prior to assuming a volunteer position, candidates are required to complete a volunteer application and<br />

background clearance consent form, and if clearances are required, submit the processing fee <strong>of</strong> $5.00.<br />

Volunteer candidates who do not pass the Volunteer Background Clearance will be denied a position if a<br />

provisional clearance is not authorized by GSEP. The response to any other reports will be at the discretion<br />

and judgment <strong>of</strong> Council management.<br />

Volunteer candidates who have a completed volunteer clearance process within the last 12 months may<br />

submit a copy <strong>of</strong> these certifications with their application ($5.00 fee not required).<br />

Volunteers will be required to update their volunteer records every 3 years by submitting a new consent form<br />

and processing fee.<br />

Health And Safety<br />

Our Commitment To Safety<br />

GSEP is committed to providing a safe environment for all <strong>of</strong> our girl members. The completion <strong>of</strong> criminal<br />

background checks by adult volunteers is one additional and important step to ensure their safety.<br />

Who Needs a Background Check?<br />

We recommend that every adult volunteer who works regularly with girls obtain a criminal background<br />

clearance. However, we require that criminal background clearances be performed for the following<br />

individuals, prior to their acceptance <strong>of</strong> a volunteer assignment:<br />

1. All Leaders and Assistant Leaders (also known as “01’s” and “02’s”)<br />

2. Troop Cookie Managers<br />

3. Troop Fall Product Managers<br />

4. Service Unit Cookie Managers<br />

5. Service Unit Fall Product Managers<br />

6. All adults who attend any overnight events with girls<br />

Procedure<br />

As part <strong>of</strong> her/his volunteer application process, each appropriate candidate must complete a background<br />

check application and consent form, and submit the required $5 processing fee. Forms are available from<br />

Service Unit Managers or online at www.gsep.org. Processing should take no more than 2-3 weeks.<br />

Note: Background checks must be performed every three years.<br />

GSEP Accepts Clearances From Other Agencies<br />

GSEP can accept criminal/child abuse background checks performed for other youth-serving organizations<br />

such as schools, houses <strong>of</strong> worship and employers as long as they have been performed in the preceding<br />

12 months. A copy <strong>of</strong> the clearance should be submitted with the volunteer application and no processing<br />

fee is required.<br />

What Happens if “Something” Shows Up on the Record?<br />

Volunteer candidates whose verified record indicates a history <strong>of</strong> child abuse, violent crime or sexual crime<br />

will be denied an assignment. At the discretion <strong>of</strong> the Council, volunteer candidates may be denied an<br />

assignment for drug and/or alcohol related <strong>of</strong>fenses or <strong>of</strong>fenses related to fraud, theft, misappropriation or<br />

any other reports.<br />

CAMPing Properties,<br />

pOLICIES and PROCEDURES<br />

Let’s get out and take a hike! Welcome to our Council’s guide to camping policies and procedures. Every<br />

troop should be sure to take advantage <strong>of</strong> the wonderful outdoor resources for lots <strong>of</strong> outdoor fun. Outdoor<br />

activities are an important part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Girl</strong> Scout program because they provide girls with an appreciation <strong>of</strong><br />

the outdoors, a chance to learn new skills, a feeling <strong>of</strong> independence and increased self-esteem, along with<br />

opportunities to develop relationships.<br />

<strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Eastern</strong> <strong>Pennsylvania</strong> is committed to providing opportunities where girls can gain experience in<br />

an outdoor environment and grow personally. It is our hope that these experiences allow girls a chance to:<br />

• have fun;<br />

• develop a sense <strong>of</strong> belonging to the group, troop or unit <strong>of</strong> girls;<br />

• learn more about relating to others and accepting differences;<br />

• develop new skills related to the environment and outdoor activities;<br />

• build self esteem and self reliance;<br />

• gain a sense <strong>of</strong> ownership and pride in our camps;<br />

• interact with positive female adult role models;<br />

• develop confidence and capability in the outdoor world.<br />

Families and Non <strong>Girl</strong> Scout Groups<br />

GSEP camps are first and foremost a resource for our girls and leaders. Non <strong>Girl</strong> Scout groups and families<br />

with <strong>Girl</strong> Scout affiliations may rent GSEP properties, but must meet all rules and regulations required <strong>of</strong><br />

GSEP troops/groups. Because GSEP troops/groups and service units have first priority for use <strong>of</strong> GSEP camp<br />

properties, the reservation procedures and application are different for families and other non <strong>Girl</strong> Scout<br />

groups. <strong>Girl</strong> Scout affiliated families may reserve a weekend site two months in advance, and outside groups<br />

may reserve a weekend site one month in advance.<br />

All camp visits must be pre-arranged and pre-approved with the Troop Camping (Site Rental) Registrar.<br />

Any questions? Please call the Troop Camping Registrar at 888.564.4657, ext. 1054.<br />

All groups (including families) camping on GSEP and other properties MUST camp with<br />

an adult current in First Aid/CPR, and with an adult who has completed all three<br />

GSEP Outdoor trainings. Please see the Volunteer Learning <strong>Guide</strong> http://www.gsep.org/volunteer/adultdevelopment.php.<br />

Training Requirements For Camping With <strong>Girl</strong>s<br />

Safety Activity Checkpoints requires that adults leading girls in camping and outdoor cooking activities<br />

are properly trained. To meet those requirements, GSEP has developed a training progression and training<br />

courses for adults leading girls in the out-<strong>of</strong>-doors. Please see the Volunteer Learning <strong>Guide</strong> http://www.gsep.<br />

org/volunteer/adult-development.php.<br />

addition, no weapons, alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs are allowed in any GSEP facilities.<br />

All groups renting any site or facility must adhere to the following standards and rules at all times while on<br />

site. These rules should be shared with all persons in your party prior to arriving at camp.<br />

Men In Camp (except for <strong>Girl</strong> Scout Family Camping)<br />

Safety Activity Checkpoints requires that men be given separate sleeping quarters and restroom facilities<br />

when they camp with girls. Since many <strong>of</strong> the GSEP campsites do not have separate restroom facilities, a list<br />

<strong>of</strong> appropriate sites is available from the Troop Camping Registrar. It is important to communicate with the<br />

Troop Camping Registrar prior to making any reservations where men will be present<br />

at the camp.<br />

It is also acceptable to rent two units with the men in one unit and the girls and female leaders in the<br />

neighboring unit. This ensures privacy.<br />

Check-In/Check-Out Procedures<br />

• The leader from each group must check in and check out with the Camp Ranger. You must provide<br />

the Camp Ranger with the Site Rental Reservation paperwork. If you did not receive this paperwork,<br />

you must contact the Registrar prior to your camp visit.<br />

• The leader for each camping group must complete the check-out process, which includes a site<br />

inspection by the Camp Ranger, prior to departing the site. Failure to check out, regardless <strong>of</strong> the<br />

cleanliness <strong>of</strong> the site, will result in forfeiting the security deposit.<br />

• Troops are expected to clean their unit before departing. This includes sweeping out tents, sweeping<br />

and mopping cabins, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning kitchens, and taking bagged trash to the trash<br />

cans for ranger pick-up. For a $50 charge per unit, troops can pay for “deep-cleaning” and leave after<br />

they have picked up and swept out the tents and cabins, picked up around the grounds, and taken all<br />

trash to the cans for ranger pick-up. A service will mop floors, and clean the bathrooms and kitchens.<br />

• Check-in is from 4-8pm and check-out must occur before 2pm.<br />

• Driving and parking are only permitted in certain designated areas and limited to the number <strong>of</strong><br />

vehicles per site as indicated on the grid. Failure to observe this directive will result in the forfeit <strong>of</strong><br />

your security deposit.<br />

Consultants for Troop Camping, Day Use Activities, Service Unit Camping,<br />

Outside Group Rentals at Sites Owned by GSEP<br />

GSEP is currently using a system <strong>of</strong> “direct booking” <strong>of</strong> consultants by Service Units, Troop Leaders and<br />

outside groups at GSEP owned sites. In this system, Service Units/Troops/outside groups will pay consultants<br />

directly and consultants will negotiate times and prices directly with the designated contact person. There are<br />

2 fees for these activities. The first fee is to the consultant, the second fee is to GSEP to help defray the cost<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Consultant Reservation System and to also keep the equipment in good repair. Troops/Service Units<br />

and outside groups are responsible for both fees.<br />

GSEP also provides on certain weekends during the year Consultant Weekends at many <strong>of</strong> our sites. At these<br />

weekends we will provide the consultants for certain activities. Available slots for these activities are available<br />

through the online registration system.<br />

Group size determines the number <strong>of</strong> consultants required. Please adhere to these guidelines for the safety <strong>of</strong><br />

our girls. Remember all activities are weather permitting.<br />
